Carter walked angrilly-with each step the pain of what he just saw becoming more
and more prominent in his weary heart.
What a fool he'd been to have believed she really was over Luka. Please. He had been right before-
there simply was too much history and it was never going to work.
He started his car and jetted off to where he should have gone in the first place; Susan's apartment.
As he drove he felt the anuish in his stomach-in his mind and in his heart. How hateful of Abby
to lead him on like that-only to crush him. It never occurred to him to believe her-that it truly wasn't
what he thought. He was too upset to think straight. And too stubborn to listen.
As he pulled up outside her door he paused a moment-the car ride having cooled him down a touch.
*is this really what I want?*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile back at Abby's apartment...
"Oh God-Luka, what have I done?"
"Abby-I'm sorry-you were right I shouldn't have come." apologised Luka in haste as he gathered his stuff.
Abby barely heard him as she allowed herself to collapse onto the sofa in defeat.
"Abby-I'm going now-but please listen. Carter is a fool if he doesn't..."
"Get out." she said quietly.
"Abby..." he pleaded.
"GET OUT!" she screamed before dropping her head in her hands and crying.
She angrilly wiped away her tears as Luka exited her apartment.
How hateful of Carter. How hateful of him to put her through this. Hell she'd practically carried
hime through his recovery-saved his life even and this is how he'd repaid her. By reducing her to tears
despair. Who the hell does he think he is?
*I'm Abby Lockheart damnit-I'm made of tougher stuff than this.* Her mind screamed angrilly.
But alas her emotions could not be quietened. She was filled with an overwhelming sense of
depression.
For once in her life she thought she'd be happy.
She thought she'd found someone who understood her.
What the hell happened?
The urge to drink was almost suffocating-but she resisted it with every fibre of her being.
Finally she fell asleep-and was lost in the world of dreams.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile......
*Of course it's what I want.* thought Carter becoming irritated with his inability to make up his mind.
He walked up to the door and knocked loudly and with a false sense of confidence.
After a few minutes the door opened and a young man stood in the door way with a sheet wrapped around his waist.
"Can I help you?" asked the man slightly impatiently.
"Uh...is Susa...Dr Lewis home?" replied Carter sheepishly feeling like a lost child.
"Carter-is that you? What are you doing here." he heard Susan answer as she approached the door in a robe.
The man put his arm wround Susan and kissed her lightly on her cheek as Susan motioned for Carter to answer.
"Uh...yeah. Just wanted to...to ask if you could cover my shift tomorrow morning?"
"Yeah-fine-why?" susan said almost at once.
"I just....I just...I just have somewhere to be. That's all." he muttered.
"OK-whatever-be there by 2.00pm." she said as the door shut leaving Carter standing there on the porch.
He felt an emotion overwhelm his sense. It passed over him in an instant wave and he knew what it was that
he felt.
Relief.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abby woke up the following morning and for an instant she forgot about what happened the previous night.
Then the memories came flooding back. And that heavy sick feeling in her stomach returned with a vengence.
*What do I do know?* she thought wearily.
Then it occured to her.
She got up, brushed her teeth, ran a brush through her hair...and began to pack.
